PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION

np HE Committee on Education and Research of the Ontario College of
Pharmacy, in issuing a reprint of the Canadian Formulary, desires
to express its gratification on the extended appreciation accorded to the
formulary, as attested by the need for another provision to meet the
steady demand for it. The present issue boasts of but few additions to
the formulas presented in the last edition. This may properly be ac-
counted for in great part by the thorough manner in which the former
editor, Mr. John Hargreaves, achieved the work entrusted to him. The
committee deems it fitting to record its appreciation of the praiseworthy
service rendered to his brother pharmacists, and to the cause of ethical
pharmacy by Mr. Hargreaves. It would like to hope that his example
might be imitated by every member of the pharmaceutical profession by
the contribution of such formulas as may be found useful or necessary.
Only in this way can the purpose of the Formulary be promoted and its
practical utility enhanced. Let the Committee have the benefit of any
formulas deemed worthy of a place. Also let the Committee have the
benefit of any criticism of the Formulary you believe necessary for its
betterment.

Toronto, July 1st, 1915.

PREFACE

(Reproduced from the 3rd Edition)

X this third edition of the Canadian Formulary the committee has made
- a few necessary alterations in some of the formulas published In 1908.
A number of new preparations have been added and it is hoped that these
will be of service to the medical and pharmaceutical professions of the
Dominion.

It is gratifying to the committee to find that in many parts of Canada,
the work is highly appreciated by the medical profession, and this inter-
est would be largely increased, if the pharmacists and physicians in each
locality would consult together, and offer suggestions and additional
formulas according to the requirements of the various localities.

As explained in previous editons, the object of the committee has been
to provide a definite standard, for the manufacture of certain pharmaceu-
tical preparations, which are frequently required by the medical profes-
sion, but for which there was no uniform or authorized standard up to
the time this work was undertaken, and much confusion and inconven-
ience was caused by the lack of uniformity in the products of various
houses marketing preparations known by the same trade names.

It is only by the active support and co-operation of the medical pro-
fession that we can hope to gain the full benefits of the work undertaken.
It is, therefore, desirable that the physicians of Canada be made acquaint-
ed with the existence, contents and objects of this publication, and if this
is dpne by the pharmacists in each locality, we believe that physicians
will gladly use and prescribe the "C. F." preparations, instead of desig-
nating any particular manufacturer's product.

The committee invite correspondence from all parts of the Dominion
on matters pertaining to the Formulary, and will gratefully receive any
suggestions as to improvements, or additional formulas for the next edi-
tion. All such formulas will be carefully considered and practically tested.

Careful consideration will also be given by the committee to any re-
quests for additional formulas to meet the requirements of the physicians
of any particular locality.

It has been the desire of the committee to make this little work of
practical value to the pharmacist, who has been obliged to keep in stock a
large variety of "brands," all known by practically the same trade name,
but made of varying strengths, and exploited by different manufacturers,
and greatly to the disadvantage and bewilderment of both physician and
pharmacist.

The preparations of the "C. F." were all thoroughly tested before
they were adopted, and any one of them can be readily prepared by any
pharmacist on his own premises, and we feel that it will be to the advan-
tage of physicians, pharmacists and patients, if the pharmacists of the
Dominion will interest themselves in calling the attention of their friends
in the medical profession to the advantages of specifying "C. F." prepara-
tions in their prescriptions, and using them as frequently as possible.

PREFACE

(Reproduced from the 2nd Edition)

THIS second edition of the Canadian Formulary is published under the
authority of the Ontario College of Pharmacy ,by committees from
the Colleges of Pharmacy, of the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, ap-
pointed for the purpose of investigating and approving of formulas be-
lieved to be appropriate and suitable for the purpose and object for which
the publication is authorized.

Recognition of certain formulas bearing a semi-official title prepared
according to the formulas prevailing in localities, has demonstrated the
necessity for the adoption of some uniform system of authoritative form-
ulas, whereby the physician can intelligently prescribe and the pharma-
cist dispense, and the result expected and obtained be unifoi'm and iden-
tical throughout the whole of the Dominion of Canada. This was the
desire and intention of the Council of the Ontario College of Pharmacy,
when the work was inaugurated, with the full knowledge and belief, that
only by and with the general co-operation and support of the pharmacists
of the entire Dominion could success be achieved. Recent developments
point to much encouragement for a wider co-operation and assistance
from the pharmacists, from which we feel justified in the conclusion that
most valuable and material benefits will accrue.

The establishment of uniform and authoritative standards for medi-
cinal articles to meet the demands of the medical and pharmaceutical
professions for preparations brought to the attention of the prescriber,
under various and fanciful coined names, with very extravagant claims
for medicinal value indicated as possessed only by the one special prep-
aration and marketed at fanciful trade prices, is essentially a step in the
interests of the public and the professions.

The best means of introducing the peparations, or the most success-
ful method of obtaining due recognition of them, should be
through personal introduction to the physician by the pharmacist. If the
pharmacist will carefully examine these formulas, it is believed,
that many of them will be found particularly applicable to the require-
ments of his locality and can be readily prepared by any qualified phar-
maceutical chemist, and with an intelligent understanding of the medicinal
properties of the preparation, as well as a knowledge of any extravagant
claims for competitive proprietary articles, the efficient pharmacist
should be able to impress the physician and induce him to test the relia-
bility of the preparations presented.

Attention is particularly directed to the fact that many formulas aro
included in the book for the express purpose of enabling the pharmacist
to supply the popular demand for preparations on the market for which
the formulas published will produce an article of like properties, and
that in some cases the formula is not to be considered or recommended
as a truly scientific pharmaceutical exhibit of the ingredients contained
in the preparation, (as shown in Formulas numbered 33 and 35).

The formulas are largely selected and compiled from a careful sur-
vey and investigation of many recognized authorities, with the intention
on the part of the committee of allowing due credit in each case to the
source from which it is obtained. Valuable assistance was given the
work by many pharmacists in Ontario and Quebec, also by Prof. Chas. F.
Heebner, Dean of the Ontario College of Pharmacy; J. E .Morrison, Mont-
real College of Pharmacy, and Fred W. Flett, Toronto, who are worthy of
especial mention, and to whom a large shar^ of credit is due. Criticisms

and suggestions on all formulas will be cheerfully received by the com-
mittees and recommendations for new formulas eligible for inclusion
in subsequent editions, will materially advance the scope and usefulness
of the work.

Both Imperial and Metric weights and measures are given through-
out the Formulary. It has been somewhat diflBicult, in the course of a
single paragraph embodying formulas involving definite quantities of
materials, to give precise directions for their employment in two different
systems of weights and measures, hence those who use the Formulary are
requested to avoid the assumption that Imperial and Metric quantities
thus placed in juxtaposition are necessarily equivalent to one another.
The intention has been to furnish formulas that will yield liquid pro-
ducts measuring twenty fluidounces (or a convenient mutiple of that vol-
ume) or one thousand cubic centimeters. Except for wholly insignifi-
cant fractional differences, a preparation made according to either sys-
tem will contain the same proportions of ingredients; but the two sys-
tems cannot both be used in the same operation, and are, therefore, not
interchangeable.

The term "Diluted Alcohol" which occurs throughout the text, refers
to a mixture of equal volumes of Commercial Alcohol (95%) and Distilled
Water.
